A command line tool to generate extensions for your Core Data models including QueryKit attributes for type-safe Core Data querying. Allowing you to use Xcode generated managed object classes with QueryKit.
Installation can be done via Homebrew as follows:
$ brew install querykit/formulae/querykit-cliAlternatively, you can build it yourself with Xcode 7.
$ git clone https://github.com/QueryKit/querykit-cli
$ cd querykit-cli
$ make
$ make installYou can run QueryKit against your model providing the directory to save the extensions.
$ querykit <modelfile> <directory-to-output>We've provided an example application using QueryKit's CLI tool.
$ querykit Todo/Model.xcdatamodeld Todo/Model
-> Generated 'Task' 'Todo/Model/Task+QueryKit.swift'
-> Generated 'User' 'Todo/Model/User+QueryKit.swift'
QueryKit CLI will generate a QueryKit extension for each of your managed
object subclasses that you can add to Xcode, in this case Task and User.
These extensions provide you with properties on your model for type-safe filtering and ordering.
import QueryKit
extension Task {
static var createdAt:Attribute<NSDate> { return Attribute("createdAt") }
static var creator:Attribute<User> { return Attribute("creator") }
static var name:Attribute<String> { return Attribute("name") }
static var complete:Attribute<Bool> { return Attribute("complete") }
}
extension Attribute where AttributeType: Task {
var creator:Attribute<User> { return attribute(AttributeType.creator) }
var createdAt:Attribute<NSDate> { return attribute(AttributeType.createdAt) }
var name:Attribute<String> { return attribute(AttributeType.name) }
var complete:Attribute<Bool> { return attribute(AttributeType.complete) }
}import QueryKit
extension User {
static var name:Attribute<String> { return Attribute("name") }
}
extension Attribute where AttributeType: User {
var name:Attribute<String> { return attribute(AttributeType.name) }
}We can use these properties in conjunction with QueryKit to build type-safe
queries. For example, here we are querying for all the Tasks which are
created by a user with the name Kyle which are completed, ordered
by their created date.
Task.queryset(context)
.filter { $0.user.name == "Kyle" }
.exclude { $0.completed == true }
.orderBy { $0.createdAt.ascending }
